Hi, I have a very broken oil recovery box on my New York, Part number 750013

I have some of the broken bits but there is too much missing for it to be serviceable.

Despite being a Ducati part, it's not available anywhere and I can't find out to which Ducatis it may have been fitted. I was excited to see a German site listed it but when I paid they came back and said it was OOS with no date for new supplies.

My guess is it was fitted to other Cagiva-era machines.

Has anyone got one they could part with or source of supply perhaps.

Thanks
Steve

It was fitted to the later road models too. A lot of owners got rid of them and reverted to the original breather system venting to atmosphere. They do work fine though, if all else is in good order and the bike isn't just used for short rides etc. They are reasonably common and should really be quite cheap. Postage will be the main cost if you have to buy from this half of the world. The breaker in Hannover, Germany always asks ridiculous prices even for scrap!
If you want to go old school it is easy enough so long as you route the main crankcase breather pipe to suit your particular model and most importantly fit an original type labyrinth into the pipe, or as I've done a one way valve. The valve covers incorporate a small labyrinth inside, where the small breather pipe exits, so they can be led to atmosphere/the ground/airbox to your taste.

I'll have a look when I am in Ams again, I should have one or two

Thanks for your replies

Hi Steve
I think I have one, can look tomorrow. Do I take it from Steve Brown's comment that you are down under?
Thanks Ian

Hey there,
Thanks for reply. No not for a long while now. Down in Suffolk now. If you find the box please PM and we do a deal perhaps.

Cheers

Steve, my apologies, can't find one. I had one that went to friend in France. I was pretty sure I had another but can't locate it. They are fairly small so if it does come to light I will let you know. Thanks Ian

Hi Steve,

Enough Excaliburs have been broken that is be stunned if nobody has one, but if you get really stuck there is one on eBay US

Hi, I've checked and I actually have two! I'll send a pm

I have modified my Strada by adding the breather box. It just needs a short tube from the engine breather and I have deleted the two restrictors. I run the rocker cover breathers to the box and the outlets are two into one and are aimed at the chain.
